Pre-configuring SIP/H.323


Pre-configuration for SIP/H.323 allows account owners and admins to configure the default video layout and input DTMF tones for when H.323 or SIP devices join their meeting via Room Connector. Users will be able to change the video layout or input DTMF tones via the device keypad once joined into a Zoom meeting.
